Product details
Overview
HZU4ALL-JTRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for hard-knee, low-noise voltage reference applications. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V (min 3.4 V, max 3.8 V) at 0.5 mA, with ultra-low dynamic impedance (370 Ω typ at 2 mA), temperature coefficient of −1.5 mV/°C, and noise voltage approximately 1/3–1/10 that of the standard HZU series. It is used in precision analog front-ends and low-drift sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E datasheet, HZU4ALL-JTRF-E pinout, HZU4ALL-JTRF-E application, or HZU4ALL-JTRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its hard-knee Vz–Iz linearity down to 1 nA, ultra-small URP package (PTSP0002ZA-A), low thermal drift, and suitability for low-current, high-stability reference designs where noise and temperature sensitivity are critical.
Technical Context
The HZU4ALL-JTRF-E employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure to achieve sharp Zener knee characteristics and stable reverse breakdown behavior. Its semi-logarithmic linear Vz–Iz response spans six decades (1 nA to 1 mA), enabling accurate low-current regulation without external amplification.
Designed for surface-mount use, it features a cathode-anode two-terminal configuration in the Ultra Small Resin Package (URP). Its temperature coefficient (−1.5 mV/°C) and low dynamic resistance (370 Ω typical at IZT = 2 mA) support stable operation across −55°C to +150°C ambient range without active compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.4 V min to 3.8 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight reference window for ±5.6% tolerance in low-power biasing |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZT) | 370 Ω typical at IZT = 2 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 100 nA max at VR = 1.0 V - enables ultra-low leakage in standby-sensitive circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −1.5 mV/°C - reduces thermal drift by ~50% vs. HZU series, improving long-term stability |
| Noise Voltage | Approx. 1/3–1/10 of HZU series - critical for high-resolution ADC references and low-noise op-amp biasing |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C max - allows reliable use in industrial environments with elevated board temperatures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5226BS | Zener voltage 3.3 V (±5%), higher TC (−2.5 mV/°C), higher noise, SOD-323 package | Higher power dissipation (200 mW) but less stable at low currents; suitable for general-purpose regulation only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise/TC requirements and board space permits larger footprint |
| Taiwan Semiconductor TSZ1103B | Zener voltage 3.6 V (±2%), TC −1.2 mV/°C, specified noise performance not published, SOT-23 package | Larger package (SOT-23 vs. URP), no documented sub-µA linearity-less suited for nanoampere biasing | Prefer for higher-current (>1 mA) reference needs where tighter initial tolerance is prioritized over ultra-low-noise operation |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS and TSZ1103B, the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E offers superior low-current linearity (down to 1 nA), lower noise, and better thermal stability-making it uniquely suited for high-accuracy, low-power analog signal conditioning where reference integrity directly impacts system resolution.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E?
The HZU4ALL-JTRF-E has a Zener voltage range of 3.4 V minimum to 3.8 V maximum at IZ = 0.5 mA, corresponding to a ±5.6% tolerance around the nominal 3.6 V value. This tight spread is achieved through process-controlled epitaxial layer doping and laser trimming during final test, ensuring consistency across production batches of the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E.
Does the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E support operation below 1 µA?
Yes-the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E exhibits semi-logarithmic linear VZ–IZ characteristics from 1 nA to 1 mA, confirmed in the official Renesas datasheet REJ03G1216-0500. At 100 nA, the device maintains stable regulation within its specified voltage window, making the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E suitable for nanoampere-level biasing in ultra-low-power sensor interfaces and energy-harvesting systems.
What is the thermal performance of the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E?
The HZU4ALL-JTRF-E has a temperature coefficient of −1.5 mV/°C and operates across −55°C to +150°C ambient range. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is not explicitly specified, but the 150 mW power rating at 25°C and derating curve in Figure 3 indicate usable performance up to +105°C at ~75 mW. This thermal behavior is integral to the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E's role in industrial-grade reference circuits.
Is the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E RoHS compliant?
Yes-the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Renesas confirms lead-free termination and halogen-free molding compound per its environmental compliance documentation. The "-JTRF-E" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaging, and is fully traceable through Renesas' material declarations-critical for compliance verification of the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E in regulated markets.
How does the noise performance of the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E compare to standard Zeners?
The HZU4ALL-JTRF-E delivers approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise voltage of the legacy HZU series, as stated in the Renesas datasheet. This reduction stems from optimized epitaxial layer uniformity and reduced defect density, resulting in lower flicker and avalanche noise components. For designers specifying the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E, this translates directly to improved SNR in precision analog signal paths where the HZU4ALL-JTRF-E serves as the primary reference.
